I'm there to greet you when your life begins
|
You'll start your journey on your knees and hands
|
I offer many choices an' places you can go
|
'Cause you must choose 'cause I'm just the road
|
|
I'm paved with mem'ries, glory and regrets
|
I'm lined with broken dreams and cigarettes
|
You can take all you can hold but if you stumble b'neath your load
|
Don't blame me; I'm just the road
|
|
I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
|
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble and I'll wind
|
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
|
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
|
|
Road to riches, the path of righteousness
|
Through busy cities, or through a mountain mess
|
I'll take you through the high way or snake you through the low
|
But it's your call, I'm just the road
|
|
I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
|
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble and I'll wind
|
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
|
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
|
|
>instrumental interlude<
|
|
Your last breath is not the death of me
|
I'll take you on to where your ticket reads
|
To that place where I hope shinin' angels greet your soul
|
If they don't, I'm just the road
|
|
'Cause I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
|
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble and I'll wind
|
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
|
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
|
|
I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
|
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble and I'll wind
|
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
|
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
|
|
So don't you thank me don't you blame me
|
When you're at that judgment throne
|
'Cause I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
|
